City Market Art In Savannah Savannah’s quality of life is unrivaled by any comparably sized city in the South. In fact, part of the appeal of Georgia’s First City lies in its surprisingly rich array of cultural offerings from the visual arts to live music. Savannah is home to more than 40 galleries, the oldest art museum in the South and the Savannah College of Art and Design. Literally thousands of artists, including students and professionals, flock to this city with its history of strong support for the arts. The relationship between Savannah and its creative residents is reciprocal: not only has the city supported its artists, but its artists have played a key role in the city’s continued growth and vitality. Just a quick elevator ride to the upperlevel studios in the Franklin Ward North and Franklin Ward South Buildings in Historic City Market is where you will discover a wide variety of original art. Take the time to explore the area and visit with more than 50 artists as they bring the “Art of Savannah” to life - all of which is as unique as the city itself. 22 Savannah Scene May-June 2020

The Monuments OF RIVER STREET
There is an unbelievable amount of history up and down Savannah’s cobblestone riverfront. And the monuments placed along the river pay homage to our city's past and allow for visitors to enjoy their statuesque beauty and symbolism. A WORLD APART: The World War II Monument is also known as The Cracked Earth Monument. The two halves of the globe are split, representing the conflict of a world divided. The monument is lit at night, and inside are the names of all who served from Chatham County, a Purple Heart and a WWII Victory Medal. A World Apart is located at the center of River Street, on the west side of the Hyatt tunnel. THE WAVING GIRL: Greeting every ship that comes into the Savannah port is the statue commemorating Florence Martus, the waving girl. Between 1887 and 1931, Florence took it upon herself to be the greeter of all the ships in the harbor, waving them down with a white handkerchief or lantern. She was the daughter of an ordinance sergeant at Fort Pulaski, living on Elba Island with her brother and a border collie. Though there are several speculations as to why she waved down every boat, one of them being that she was waiting for a sailor she fell in love with to return, the true reason is still a mystery. The statue is located at the east end of River Street in a grassy area near the Marriott hotel. THE ANCHOR MONUMENT: This monument was founded by Margaret Campbell, who organized the Port of Savannah Chapter of the Women’s Propeller Club. It was built in 1976 and dedicated to all merchant seaman lost at sea. THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MONUMENT: This monument was built in 2002, designed by Savannah College of Art and Design professor Dorothy Spradley. It shows a family embracing with the chain of slavery at their 24 Savannah Scene May-June 2020

feet. The side of the monument has a powerful inscription by Maya Angelou, a selection of it reading: “We were stolen, sold and bought together from the African continent. ...Today, we are standing up together, with faith and even some joy.” It stands on the east side of River Street, right by the Hyatt tunnel. WASHINGTON’S GUNS: These two cannons were presented to the Chatham Artillery by George Washington in 1791, after he seized them from Cornwallis at Yorktown during the American Revolution. The guns were originally named La Populaire and were of French make in 1756. Later, during the Civil War, the guns were buried beneath the Chatham Artillery armory until 1872. They now sit on Bay Street, just to the right of City Hall, next to the top level of River Street. THE OLD HARBOR LIGHT: Also known as the Savannah Harbor Rear Range Light or the Beacon Range Light, it was built in 1858 to guide ships into the Savannah Harbor and away from six British ships which were sunk earlier in 1779 to keep French and American vessels away in the Revolutionary War. It was turned off during World War II, but has since been restored twice. It now sits at the east side of Emmet Park. savannah.com

Plantation Carriage Company:
A Romantic Journey Through History
T
he rhythmic sound of hooves clip-clopping down Savannah’s cobblestone streets signal that the Plantation Carriage Company is once again sharing the stunning, treasured history of the Hostess City with visitors from near and far. Well-versed in the language of love, Plantation Carriage Company skillfully creates the most enchanting experience with a sunset ride through the streetlamp-lit National Landmark Historic District. Romantic tours range from 30 minutes to two hours in length, giving couples plenty of time to make their own memories under the canopy of Savannah’s Spanish moss-draped trees. “A carriage ride is the best way to see Savannah the way it was meant to be seen,” says Plantation Carriage Company owner Jennifer Thompson. “More than a tour, it’s a chance to share my hometown with guests and to showcase Savannah, our commitment to hospitality and our love of horses.” The daughter of a historian father and equestrian mother, Jennifer was destined to become one of Savannah’s top horsedrawn carriage tour guides. Her success, however, comes from how she views and treats her horses. Viewed as co-workers or extended family members, the horses are treated with the utmost care. “Experience, planning, love and diligent care have allowed thousands of people to enjoy a unique experience, while protecting the horses that provide it,” Thompson explains. 26 Savannah Scene May-June 2020
The experienced tour guides at Plantation Carriage Company also guide visitors on an informative history tour of Savannah’s Historic District, pointing out details about the city’s fine antebellum architecture, natural beauty and time-honored sites. This popular one-hour history tour offers visitors an opportunity to see the city from a nineteenthcentury perspective. “Imagine the history of Savannah told through the stories of its leading ladies, haunting figures, Civil War soldiers and Victorian socialites,” Jennifer says. “It’s a wonderful experience.” Horse-drawn carriages can also take visitors on specialty tours, which can be easily customized to personal interests or group preferences. For the romantically inclined, tours can be further customized to include stops for dinner and drinks. Enchanting extras like chocolate-covered strawberries, cozy blankets and red rose bouquets can also be added for wedding proposals and anniversary tours. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening or an informative, authentic overview of Georgia’s first planned city, Plantation Carriage Company has a tour that is sure to be a highlight of your trip. Plantation Carriage Company tours depart from the carriage stand on the southeast corner of Ellis Square.

SAVANNAH’S
HISTORIC CEMETERIES Savannah photographer Jack Leigh captured the image that graces the cover of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — a burial statue, nick named The Bird Girl, that once stood in the heart of Bonaventure Cemetery. The Bird Girl statue is currently on display at the Telfair Museum of Art. HOW TO GET THERE: Bonaventure is located just off Pennsylvania Avenue on Bonaventure Road. HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
COLONIAL PARK CEMETERY
Colonial Park Cemetery is the city’s only nonactive cemetery, meaning that no more burials take place on this historic plot of land, located at the corner of Abercorn Street and Oglethorpe Avenue. Walk through the graceful arch erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and you will discover a window into Savannah’s rich past. Many of Savannah’s earliest settlers are buried in Colonial Park, and their gravestones date back to the 1700s.
No visit to Savannah is complete without a visit to the city’s historic cemeteries, each of which serves as a final resting place for many of Savannah’s most fascinating residents. Each of these cemeteries is situated amid incredibly scenic surroundings. Even if cemeteries give you goosebumps, you’ll be glad you stopped by to experience some of Savannah’s unique history firsthand. Just don’t stay too long!
BONAVENTURE CEMETERY
Immortalized by John Berendt in his bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Bonaventure is the final resting place for many of Savannah’s most prominent citizens, including songwriter Johnny Mercer (1909-1976), poet Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) and plantation owner Noble Jones (1701-1775), one of Savannah’s original settlers who colonized the city with General James Oglethorpe in 1733. Located along the scenic banks of the Wilmington River, Bonaventure Cemetery also features group burials for the American Legion Field, the Confederate States of America, the Order of Railroad Conductors and the veterans of the Spanish-American War. Originally a 600-acre plantation, Bonaventure was sold for $5,000 in 1846 to Savannah businessman Peter Wiltberger, who turned the land into a public cemetery called Evergreen Cemetery. The City of Savannah purchased Evergreen Cemetery in 1907 and turned it into Bonaventure Cemetery. 46 Savannah Scene May-June 2020
Today, Colonial Park Cemetery serves as a park for many Savannah residents. Many Savannahians stroll through the cemetery in the early morning or walk their dogs within the ceme tery’s wrought iron perimeter in the evening. HOW TO GET THERE: The main entrance is located at the corner of Abercorn Street and Oglethorpe Avenue. HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
LAUREL GROVE CEMETERY
Established in 1852, Laurel Grove Cemetery has thousands of graves that reflect Savannah’s rich history, situated amid groves of live oak, magnolia and dogwood trees. This contemplative site, which features ornate ironwork and magnificent statuary on many of the lots, was once called Springfield Plantation. Laurel Grove is divided into two distinct sections by a highway connector. Laurel Grove North, per haps the better-known part of the cemetery, is the burial place of hundreds of Confederate soldiers, as well as prominent citizens like Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts, and Florence Martus, Savannah’s Waving Girl. Laurel Grove South serves as the final resting place for many members of Savannah’s AfricanAmerican community. Many slaves, freedmen and even two African-American Confederate veterans are buried in Laurel Grove South. HOW TO GET THERE: Laurel Grove Cemetery is best accessed from Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Turn right onto Anderson Street and the main gate will be straight ahead. HOURS: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. savannah.com

HOROSCOPE May 2020 ARIES Remember that all of your actions have consequences. Plan well and success will come in life and in your finances. Proceed with caution. A harmless flirtation could put you in an awkward position at the end of the month. TAURUS This month will test your patience and resolve. Workplace issues will have your temper raging, but show that you are a true professional and approach these issues in a calm and decisive manner. An improved diet with less sweets and more veggies will help you remain calm and think clearly. GEMINI Your willingness to give of yourself is something to be applauded, but do not absorb the problems of others or work so tirelessly for others that your own quality of life is diminished. Balance is the key to happiness. Traditions change, and you will initiate a new one this month. CANCER Your disciplined lifestyle and hard work will result in many celebrations and a period of good luck. By midmonth, your luck will be at its peak, so use this time to advance yourself professionally. A new and more positive outlook on life will brighten your future. LEO It is your time to shine. Dress to impress, because you will be the focal point of a work or social event this month. A loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emotional state will require some additional sensitivity at home. VIRGO In our high-tech society, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become easy to express our frustration by typing a few choice words from our phones. Take a moment to consider how you would feel if all of your communications were suddenly out in the open and adjust your language accordingly. 52 Savannah Scene May-June 2020
LIBRA Your patience and diligence at work will finally be rewarded. A family member has a special surprise to unveil, and a stretch of good luck will have you floating on cloud nine. Celebrate your good fortune with a shopping spree. SCORPIO Prepare for the unexpected when planning out a work schedule for a major project, and forgive yourself for some uncharacteristic, yet human mistakes. Someone you believe to be a true friend will prove themselves disloyal. Keep your chin up, and maintain your high standards. SAGITTARIUS Forgive and forget. The grudge that has formed between you and an old friend is unproductive. Prepare for some sudden changes to your social calendar, which may delight one friend at the expense of another. CAPRICORN Do not present yourself as an expert on topics you actually know little about. A false presentation could put you in an equally embarrassing position this month. A first impression will deceive you, but by your second encounter, you will be thoroughly enticed. AQUARIUS The little things will make you the happiest this month. Keep a low social profile. Spend some time doing what you like to do at your own pace. You will reconnect with an old friend. PISCES. A new romance may be on the horizon, as you cross paths with a mysterious Scorpio. Do not underestimate the advice of the young. It will prove very helpful this month. savannah.com
HOROSCOPE June 2020 ARIES Think about the impact of your words on others and how your words shape your identity. This month, be especially mindful of your unique sense of humor around those who do not know you well. A new romantic relationship may start to develop. TAURUS Criticism will come from every direction this month. Consider the source and validity of each piece of criticism. When it comes to personal matters, place the highest value on your own opinion. At work, you will have to admit that you were mistaken, but you will be respected for your honesty. GEMINI You will cross paths with
a former lover and question your feelings. Think carefully, especially if your former lover is a Scorpio. Additional effort at work will be significantly rewarded this month.
CANCER Your lover needs you to
bring happiness into their life again. Shower them with love, affection and, maybe, a home- cooked meal. Be patient, as it may take some time for them to return to their usual, happy self.
LEO An object you have long
desired will be within your grasp. Work will keep you busy this month. Social activities that dot your calendar will have to take a backseat to your professional responsibilities.
VIRGO Be cautious of putting
your trust in someone who has disappointed you in the past. Providing a second chance is a kind gesture, but some people are habitually not trustworthy. Keep calm when a Taurean coworker angers you. savannah.com
LIBRA This month, you will experience a period of high energy. Utilize your extra energy to perform the household tasks you dread most and to accomplish what you once thought were insurmountable goals. Your increased productivity will surprise you and leave others in awe. SCORPIO A busy month lies ahead of you, so maintain a well-balanced diet. Remain calm throughout the chaos, and a period of rest will come. At home, a loved one will have some important news to share. SAGITTARIUS Do not allow your lover to cast their problems onto you. Your compassion is sufficient. An odd fact revealed in an earlier conversation will be extremely helpful by the end of the month. CAPRICORN Stop looking at the glass as half empty. Things may be difficult right now, but a brighter outlook will not make things worse. Try to stay positive, and do not dismiss the friendly advice of a Leo. AQUARIUS Beware of those who want to take advantage of your natural kindness and generosity. Remember, it is not unkind to set your own limits. True friends will respect them. The best weekend of the month will start with a surprise. PISCES Your overloaded calendar of work and social events will exhaust you. Review your commitments, and set aside time for a break and meaningful reflection. Keep your eye on a family member who seems to be dealing with an internal struggle. Approach them with sensitivity and support. May-June 2020 Savannah Scene 53
